Rovers boost in promotion push
Albion Rovers enhanced their promotion prospects with a comfortable 2-0 victory over East Stirling.
Goals from Robert Love and Steven Canning helped Paul Martin's side close the gap on leaders Arbroath to just two points.
The hosts signalled their intentions early on when they forced a string of saves from Michael Andrews, who denied Love, Canning and Peter Innes in quick succession.
But the Wee Rovers were not to be denied and Love eventually found a way past Andrews on 21 minutes when he connected with John Gemmell's header to turn it in from 12 yards.
East Stirling's task was made even harder when eight-goal top scorer Kevin Cawley was dismissed late on after picking up two bookings in three minutes.
And Albion made the advantage count when Canning doubled the lead in injury-time with a shot from the edge of the box.
